I envy you

Ajax (he/xe)

I envy you, butterfly.

You're oh so free

To soar through the sky

You're colourful and pretty

I'm plain and petty

Though most of all, I envy your time

It's short and it's sweet,

Oh how I wish it was mine

I want to be free, die soon, look pretty

For life I live now 

Truly is shitty

    This. hits me with some, "wow." Thank you for sharing. 🙂

  • L. B. Mek

    really well written!
    thanks for sharing, dear Poet
    (but a Butterfly
    is only the final chapters
    of a longer, more tedious
    existence)
    we all have scattered stars
    in our night sky
    of carpet, bleak
    stay Strong, young Poet
    (soon enough you'll get a taste
    of the world
    in your own terms, I hope then
    you can curate
    the life you've always wanted, free
    of bitterness
    till then, fight to survive! and enjoy
    your small mercy's)

    But you are a butterfly to me, you're pretty and something to admire! I know you'll find your wings soon, it just takes time. I love you and miss you too < 3
